Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 4 cups peeled and diced apples (about 4 medium apples)
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the apples: Peel, core, and dice the apples into small pieces to ensure even cooking and a smooth jam texture.
  2. Combine ingredients: In a large saucepan, combine the diced apples, sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Stir well to mix all ingredients evenly.
  3. Cook the mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently to prevent sticking or burning.
  4. Simmer until thick: Reduce heat to low and simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it becomes thick and jammy, approximately 25-30 minutes. Test by placing a spoonful on a cold plate; if it wrinkles when pushed, the jam is ready.
  5. Cool and jar: Remove the jam from heat and let it cool slightly. Transfer the jam into sterilized jars, seal tightly, and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or process in a water bath for longer shelf life.

Notes

  • Use tart apple varieties like Granny Smith for balanced sweetness and acidity.
  • Adjust the sugar quantity based on the sweetness of your apples and your preference.
  • For a smoother jam, mash the apples slightly while cooking or use a blender before jarring.
  • Ensure jars and lids are sterilized to prolong the shelf life.
  • Cooling the jam before sealing helps prevent spoilage.
